Lyrics only so far:

(Watching) Girls Town

It's lonely in the satellite of love
The boys left me to watch Mamie
Made from vacuum cleaner parts and electric pieces
I run the camera my name is Gypsy

Mike, Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot
Fell into the ship's theatre
Pearl forced them to see today's movie
A dopey b black & white while they're

watching girls town
watching girls town

Joel mysteriously went away
Mike mysteriously stepped in
Boys and bots making wisecracks at the screen
Watching that tall cool woman Van Doren
Gaga blah blah blah

watching girls town
watching girls town

I wanna be much more than running a camera
I wanna be Queen of the tough crowd
I wanna be that cool goer girl everyone notices
I wanna leave this satellite and live where they're

watching girls town
watching girls town
watching girls town

Hi Andy,

I've written lyrics like this before where the listener MUST know the reference the lyrics are from for the song to make sense.....for these lyrics, I don't know. :cry:
MST3K! Great reference.
I don't even know what this means :oops: ..........so those in the know will have to be the one's to offer a constructive critique on this one :roll:

Thanks for sharing. :D

MST3K was a cult hit sci-fi comedy series. A man and his robot friends have to watch really bad old science fiction movies. As they watch them, they make a lot of wisecracks about the action on screen. Many of the episodes are on YouTube.

Hi Andy,

I did some googling to find the reference (thanks John).

So my take on your song is that she is a robot that wants to be the girl in the b movie. If thats the correct interptretation then
I think I would change the last lines from

I wanna leave this satellite and live where they're

watching girls town
watching girls town
watching girls town

to something like
I wanna leave this satellite and live

in girls town
in girls town
in girls town

of course I might be completely missing the point here

Paul
